Just as this course is principally concerned with quantitative research, it also focuses on group research, which typically involves studying a large number of participants and combining their data to draw general conclusions about human behaviour. Single-subject research, on the other hand, typically involves studying a small number of participants and focusing closely on each individual. Single-subject research is an important alternative to group research, and in fact is the primary approach in some areas of psychology.
